A key feature of the model is that the experimenter's ultimate goal is to reach a decision involving some degree of standardization. That is, after the experiment they do not wish employ a policy which make different decisions in every context. We discuss reasons that many real world experiments have this feature, including operational, social, consistency, and fairness benefits of standarization, and incentive-compatibility constraints that restrict which mechanisms can be implemented post-experiment. This form of decision-objective was popularized in the economics literature by [1]}.
